Hi everyone, just landed and got home, 11h flight from SBGR... just catching up on the posts here and wanted to let you know that I will take over for a bit, after taking a nap, only had about 3h of break on the flight. Weight and balance + fuel has to be set up through the default X-Plane menu for now Spool up times for engine start is a known subject, we can not control the fuel scheduling in X-Plane 12 and therefore this is a function of engine inertia...we are looking at a way to slow it down a bit more XPUIPC does not work in its latest version, use the one posted in this thread earlier (this covers most "throttle does not move" issues Activation problems will need to be solved with X-Aviation support Discount email problems will also need to be solved with X-Aviation support When encountering unexplicable problems the default X-Plane troubleshooting rule applies: Remove all (other) plugins and try again, if it works, add the removed plugins one by one to see which one is conflicting Further discussion of problems and issues will be handled in the "Support" subsection of this forum. We are determined to get the first patch out with the most common and pressing problems fixed first, thanks for everyone´s patience and help in finding and eliminating bugs! Cheers, Jan

Captains, Mark your calendars! This Friday, September 15th, we're releasing the IXEG 737 Classic Plus! This is a next era re-brand for what the IXEG 737 Classic has become after many months of labor. The primary goal in this endeavor was to bring full X-Plane 12 compatibility to this amazing aircraft, squeeze in a few new features, and set the stage for improvements in the future. To us, it's a rebirth of a classic, tailored for X-Plane 12. Truly, stepping into the cockpit feels so good in the new X-Plane 12 environment! A Special Note on Pricing: For our customers who acquired the IXEG 737 Classic on or after February 7th, 2022, this update is for free for you to honor our promise of a free update at the time you made the purchase. As for our dedicated pilots who've been with us since the beginning and purchased the IXEG 737 Classic on or before February 6th, 2022, the upgrade to the Classic Plus version will be available at a nominal fee of $14.95 USD. We believe this price point offers tremendous value, and you'll have 60 days to take advantage of this upgrade offer once the product is released. The IXEG 737 Classic Plus doesn't just bring new features; it rejuvenates the entire flying experience, making this aircraft feel brand new. Here's a quick rundown of what's been brewing over the past 9 months: Fixes & Enhancements (from the XP11 version): Engine Bleed Configuration: Now accurately impacts Takeoff N1. FMS PERF Page: Resets to blank entries post-landing and deceleration below 60kts. Code Optimization: Streamlined and revamped for quicker future updates. Brand New Features for the XP12 Version: Wingflex: Experience the subtle flex of the 737's sturdy wing in our 3D model. 3D Cabin: Dive into a fully detailed cabin, complete with operational galleys (Fancy a cup of coffee?). Moving Cabin Doors: Open and close each cabin door, influencing differential pressure just like the cockpit windows. Loading Stations Concept: Assign weights to specific seat rows and cargo holds for accurate physical effects on the aircraft. Cockpit & Cabin Lighting: Updated for XP12's lighting engine, including interactive cabin lights. X-Plane GUI Integration: Set up your load and fuel seamlessly. GUI Enhancements: A fresh look for the IXEG interface, now VR-accessible. Hide Yoke: With default XP12 key assignment. FOV Slider: Added to preferences for a tailored viewing experience. Cockpit Windows: Upgraded to XP12 tech, showcasing rain and ice effects. Outside Lighting: Balanced for an immersive XP12 photometric experience. Aerodynamics & Engine Tuning: Optimized for XP12's advanced modeling. To our loyal customers transitioning from the X-Plane 11 version, we've poured countless hours into this upgrade, ensuring it's worth every penny. We're confident you'll find the enhancements enjoyable, and with the help of full X-Plane 12 compatibility, transformative! We can't wait for you to take to the skies with the IXEG 737 Classic Plus this Friday. Clear skies and happy flying! IXEG and X-Aviation

Pricing will reflect full retail after this period. A gentle reminder that this is not the first time you're hearing of this. You posted about it back in April, and you were given detailed replies as to the situation: https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/26540-ixeg-737-classic-for-x-plane-12-announcement/?do=findComment&comment=190694 We don't have any changes with regards to that, and being fully transparent, nothing has even started. That's a very long way out (if at all)! Yes, the v11 aircraft will stay available in your account! There was an e-mail that went out! Regarding VNAV: it's been explained by @Litjan that in his days of flying with a major airline on the 733, LVL CHG was favored over VNAV. We view it that all X-Plane 10 users got free upgrades to XP 11, and all XP 11 users got to enjoy it through the whole XP 11 run. That's years of time for their invested purchase. When XP 12 released, new customers needed assurance that their investment was not going to be dead in the water right after purchase. We needed to continue to fund the project to keep it alive. We feel the $14.95 reflects a fair value for an insane amount of work put in over the last 9 months. Hopefully majority of others will too. All original liveries will be included. All third party liveries will also continue to work, so nothing has changed there!

What we have so far......or the 'clues' we have so far rather......suggest that in each of these cases, something is blocking our plugin from getting on the network and communicating with XA servers. This could be another plugin (as in the case of @haraldh above) ...or a firewall config....an ad-blocker, etc. If we can isolate further and code around it, we certainly will....but not all plugins play nice in the X-Plane sandbox. We're trying to isolate some commonalities between cases and still collecting datapoints from some users helping out, so we're sorting through it. Everybody helping out is spread all over the world though but we'll get through this quickly. -TK

Thx fopr reporting @Obo, indeed this is the highest priority item. We are collecting data from all who've experienced this. If I may ask, would you please delete your log.txt file from the root X-Plane folder, and then start X-plane and load up the IXEG? ...then shut down X-Plane....and finally post your log.txt file here. This will give us a clean log.txt file to use as a data point with others. I am confident we will get this worked out and I'm sorry you're dealing with this at the onset...I know anticipating is high atm. We will continue to work through all these isses and get to those IXEG improvements so you can use it for a long time to come. -TomK

Oh ;-) Sorry for my impatience, but IXEG737 is my favorite plane and I always wait for updates ;-) I have already received an email with the code, and the plane is already being installed. Thank you very, very, very much for your help.

Or subract fuel weight from the xplane gross weight and obtain your ZFW... Best Regards Andrea

There is also some kind of an upnormality with AutoOrtho users. Please if you use AutoOrtho 0.6 or later, make sure you are runing xplane 12 first with a default cessna and then load the IXEG. Otherwise you are runing without sounds and some other issues as well. I have notice this the hard way!!.

Hi John, we are in the transition to a better load&trim page - for now please use the default X-Plane weight and balance menu. Unfortunately the default X-Plane menu does not detail the zero fuel weight, but if you just read off the "Gross Weight" and then enter this into the 737´s FMS, the PERF page will do the calculation for you and the ZFW will appear. Hope this helped, Jan

It's version 2.0.4.7, see this post:

Just thought I'd share some pics here, arriving in Calama, Chile.

Do you really expect them to have 24/7 customer support? This is a niche hobby. Not amazon.com. Btw I had zero issues with the install and/or DRM.

Hi Roger, If your friend purchases the X-Plane 12 version, we'll gladly ensure he also has access to the X-Plane 11 version to meet your current needs. After the purchase, simply send an email to support@x-aviation.com and reference this correspondence. That way, he'll be well-prepared for any future transitions to X-Plane 12, whenever you choose to make that shift. Thanks again for your continued support, and please let us know if there's anything else we can assist with.

And just a heads-up from my side: I will be away flying DLH507 from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning, landing around 8:45Z in EDDF. I won´t be able to man the forums and give technical advice and log problems until later that afternoon, plus I have a family outing planned on Saturday night to celebrate my 53rd birthday that I spent here in Sao Paulo, away from my family. So give us a chance to catch up with everything over the weekend, I will certainly try to get through the backlog on Sunday. There are bound to be some problems and issues that slipped by me and my testflights, but as Tom already said, we are going to be on deck in the days and week after the launch and the plan is to have a very short turnaround time on critical fixes. I am excited to hear what you guys think! Cheers, Jan

We do appreciate your support Hermann, but your conclusion here is a subjective one. The product pages at XA are provided "for prospective customers consideration when evaluating a purchase", They are not policy pages, warranties or guarantees. Once one has made a purchase, that page, conceptually, goes out of context. I find this reasonable. I bought a Dell monitor a year ago. For me to keep an eye on Dell's "sales page" and try and argue that "current deals offered to prospective customers" on those pages should be retroactively applied to my purchase over a year ago is not reasonable in my opinion. I respect you have your perspective though mine is different. Certainly your perspective will be taken into consideration for future wordings so your points are noted. On a broader level though...you stated previously that you thought the IXEG was great and I thank you for that. If we didn't charge for this update, then I would have never started the update and we would have absolutely declared the IXEG end of life at Version 11 and I would have moved on from X-Plane development. As it stands, I hope to now support the IXEG for years to come and also develop new products. Your support, whether you agree with some elements of the effort or not, does play a part in that. If you choose to purchase the upgrade, I hope you still find the IXEG to your liking and we'll endeavor to keep at it making it better. -tkyler

There is an annoying ticking sound inside the Classic cockpit. It sounds like someone typing on a typewriter. It may also be in the Modern cockpit. Don't know on that because the Modern has some sound issues that are being addressed. The aircraft is powered down in the Cold & Dark state. Also, this is a fresh install of XP12 v12.06.

without a doubt the focus has been covering a broad ranges of areas to get to this point.......so everything got looked out in a cursory level, including the performance. We will naturally turn towards "realism" here shortly, in as many areas as we can. I do hope we don't end up fighting X-Plane too much. Thanks for the support, we're very much looking forward to sinking more effort into getting this optimal. -TomK

you can use XPUIPC 2.0.4.7 (attached here), it's tested and working. XPUIPC.zip

ATTENTION: Level-2 FAIL users. If you are having a Level-2 FAIL error...basically the plane won't work at startup. Please contact me via PM if you are willing to work with us to conduct some tests towards a fix. We want to verify if a fix will work in multiple cases. this does NOT mean we have a fix ready for you now, we are only wanting to collect some folks who we can communicate with via PMs. We are working on assessing the issue now. Statistically, its a large enough group to be significant, but still a minority...and so we need to figure out what all you have in common. Thx. -Tom

Hey Jan! Thx for the reply. Yup, the parameters for the new aircraft model in LR changed really odd for some things. For me also has been a bit a while the last time I flew the 300, but since it was my first airliner (this one and the 200), getting into the IXEG is just like riding a bike and all the muscle memory comes back to life. So far this is the only thing that I caught, yesterday also could be a bit of the VOR/LOC capturing after heading the course to intercept the radial in a VOR/DME approach. The flag turned green on the FMA annunciator at the EADI but the plane did not turn to the bearing. I will try another approach today and let you know. I managed to configure a descent profile for the Honeycomb Bravo and Alpha to drive the MCP pretty decent. Let me know if you will be interested in trying it...

It will take a while - you probably have a "Level 2" activation issue like many other people, X-Aviation will come up with a solution very shortly, I am certain.

Problems all solved, except the discount. Waiting a reply from support via email

Hi Jan, finished a short test flight and except the "bugs" you wrote the 733 is an awesome plane on XP12. I love it! Works without any problems. Glad I upgraded! I had to open a ticket because I unsubscribed from the newsletter but Cameron did answer in less then 2 hrs and gave me an upgrade coupon. Great service! Cheers and greetings from Hahn Daniel

Thanks, enjoy your birthday

Thanks for the heads-up, I will verify this! Normally only the pilot and the autopilot can trim the aircraft, both on the ground and in the air. One thing - in the 737 Classic you do not ARM any modes on the ground, you use the TOGA buttons to trigger the TOGA mode (for takeoff). Activate LNAV when passing 50 feet, activate a pitch mode when passing 400 feet (earliest).

Thanks for the report, I think you are right, have to doublecheck on my end, didnt see this yet.

Thanks for the report!

Dear support team, I also had unsubscribed from the newsletter and therefore have not received the discount code fpr my 2018 order of the IXEG 737. Can you please send me the code again? X-Aviation support recommended to ask in this forum for help. Best regards, Stephan

Another one here that has not got an email - have raised a ticket but nothing heard. Pretty disappointing really . Scott

I would like to congratulate the IXEG Team on releasing this update. Enjoyed so much flying it today! I have checked the extent to which this application is compatible with the new release. First of all, the application and the server (iGoConnect) are compatible with X-Plane 12. No issues found there. However, I have found that the application is not 100% compatible with the updated plane. Some issues identified: discrepancies in the maximum amount of fuel that can be loaded and CG values (e.g., %MAC). You may still use the application to plan for your flight and load the plane but the above discrepancies will be noted. If you notice other problems, please let me know. It is my intention to look at it some day but no firm commitment to when this will be done and in what way the fix will be available. Cheers!

It's the default one in Xplane

Am I the first person to notice that the coffee machines work in the galley? And that if you cut off galley power on the overhead they turn off Love the attention to detail.

Thanks for your response. A Royal Australian Air Force Livery would be great. I have purchased it albeit pension week is still a week away but I like the vintage aircraft being an ex RAAF member myself

Hi everyone, I'm sorry but I have a problem. I purchased the 737 with a discount, once installed and activated, I wanted to try it with the engines already running, but all the screens remain off and furthermore if I increase the throttle the engines don't rev up. The screen is with engines running.

downgrading XPUIPC to the version that someone posted in another thread successfully works around the issue.

I have found Living Scenery Technology to be the cause of my Level 2 fail at the moment. still testing the rest of my plugins

This would be worthy of reporting int he IXEG support forum. Please include "V1.5 PLUS" wording in the title if you can. I've added this to my own list. Thx -tk

This explains a bit more. http://togasim.com/ixeg_15_whatsnew/

Good catch..I'll add that to my list to look at....JUST as soon as this IXEG stuff slows down -tk

It was just r3 going from “beta” to “release”, nothing actually changed other than who would download it. https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-00-release-notes/

First thing, prepare some coffee

guess I need to repeat this every 10 posts or so. I'll admit going back and reading over previous posts are a pain. SO for all you folks on the east side of the Atlantic and the west side of the Pacific.

Potato / Pa-tah-to it seems..... I recall one reviewer on Youtube once said, "The sounds of the IXEG are mediocre"...and recommended a "sound-pak" which was much better. He probably had tinitus Having used FMOD on the MU2, I have a reasonable feel for it and while it is powerful, It does take 2-3x the work in FMOD than it did in code only. That being said, it does open the door for more immersive sound implementations and certainly ensures future compatibility, which after this V11 / V12 transition work, has taken on a new level of importance for us. But reset assured, we'll make sure the sound immersion holds up. Its a major part of the experience for sure. -TomK

Your question isn't stupid at all! Yes, the sounds you loved in the XP11 version are indeed the result of the custom 3D sound engine created by @tkyler. This engine was developed before X-Plane integrated FMOD, and it's what gives our products like the IXEG 737 and the Saab their distinct audio quality. We're proud of the immersive sound experience it provides and are glad to hear you enjoy it as much as we do! One day it will sunset in favor of FMOD though.

Friend, find the answer here

Thanks for this, at any price its a steal. I suppose the rest will be trying to get there model T ford upgraded to the latest by ford. Wonder how far that will go.

See the initial Press Release here for intentions going forward:

Livery compatibility has been kept intact!

Looks nice, and fair pricing be for the amount of work put in imho.
